Despite the low altitude of the starting point in Zignau, the tour can often be done to the valley floor thanks to its northern location. Those in good condition can experience a really lonely tour with lots of powder here.

Description

From Zignau (879 m above sea level) it starts soon behind the village. You can walk in at a leisurely pace via the alpine road. Again and again you come out of the forest and climb further uphill via larger forest clearings. At Stavel la Platta you are already almost 1000 meters higher up, as at the start. In the area of Alp Nadels Dadens, you can relax a bit on the plateau before heading to the final slope of the summit upswing at Cauma. This NE slope becomes increasingly steeper and must be assessed well. After about 400 meters of altitude, the wide summit soon comes towards you. The view of the Tödi Group and countless other peaks is very impressive.

The descent is via the ascent route.

Geheimtipp

The northern exposure requires a lot of patience after a fresh snowfall. But you often have the best powder here.

Sicherheitshinweis

Ski and snowshoe tours in unsecured terrain require good knowledge of avalanche danger assessment and tour planning. Furthermore, a complete safety upgrade must always be carried - regardless of the current avalanche danger.

We recommend the APP and website of WhiteRisk for preparation and planning of the tour.

For carefree enjoyment, we recommend our mountain guides and snowshoe guides in Surselva.
